I'm still puzzled by Sergio Celis' mention of "demands" during his brief statement yesterday. When LE Chief was questioned about this during a later presser, he stated that there had been no ransom demands in Isabel's disappearance. Why would Isa's dad plea to kidnappers and mention "meeting (their) demands" if there hasn't been a ransom demand? Does anyone else find this odd?

Personally I think he said that out of hope or wishfull thinking. I just watched the statement again and he said something like "whoever has her, please contact us, and let us know your demands." IMO, it is easier for him to consider this as a kidnapping, rather than a pedophile abduction, thus pleading for ransom. If my daughter were missing from her bed, I too would be begging to hear demands. By begging to hear demands he is holding on to hope that they can meet their demands and get their daughter back. Considering a pedophile has her, means she is most likely gone, and he's not going to consider this yet. just imo though...

Praying for you safe return beautiful Isabel!

Q: Was there anyone else other than the immediate family in the house the night she went missing?

A: Information that is crucial to us and important to the investigation will not be released.

IMO, this means that there was someone else at the house overnight or at least at some point between 11 and 8. How many times have we heard LE say that no one other than immediate family was in the house when something happened? The fact that they won't do that here means only one thing, IMO. (Now, it doesn't mean that person was involved... It could be that the 10 year old had a sleepover or something... But, I definitely think it means someone else was there.)

Who ever did this abduction, when caught should be locked up forever!

Look what everyone is going through with this painful ordeal!
Poor little Isabel, God Bless Her!!!

While I can understand tuning dogs out, it is hard for me to understand why a family who has a charge pending in court with possibly very large fines about the very dogs in question would allow dogs to "go nuts" at a very early hour of the morning, if any time of the day?

The incident happened just the Friday before, the charge was made on the 19th, just a day or two before, and they were set to go to court today.

If one is already in trouble with Tuscon Animal Care enough for them to file a misdemeanror charge with large fines AND possible jail time, why would one not at least be sensitive to dogs barking?

My dogs bark at other dogs (i figure that's the only way they can communicate with each other from a distance). They bark when someone is near the house, but if someone is approaching the house the bark changes from a regular bark to shrill barks, a definite difference and a much higher level of excitement.

Just yesterday my beagle and bagle (bassett/beagle) watched as our maintenance guy returned our garbage can to our patio. They went nuts, jumping at the door and barking - sounded vicious. When he left, I let them outside. They ran right up to the gate, still going nuts and sounding vicious, and pushed the gate open because he didn't shut it properly! omgosh, I ran out the door in my jammi's (was so mad, lol), thinking they were going to attack him, but instead they ran right to his feet, rolled over, and "demanded" tummy rubs. I laughed about it, but later thought "oh no, I don't want the maintenance man to know they aren't vicious!"

The really sad thing for me is that my dogs always bark at night and hubby and I always tell them to be quiet, from our beds, because it's always an animal by our garbage can, or so we think! Wondering now ---- loud barking vicious barking, stranger getting in, and vicious dogs demanding tummy rubs! Checked my doors 3 times last night, checked on little one several times, and NEVER again will I tell my dogs to be quiet - from now on I am getting my butt out of bed to see what they are barking at! What a sad scary world we live in!

I thought the TAC charge was for the dogs being loose and unregistered? Not for barking?
Also, were they going nuts or simply barking? The houses are close together, dogs were barking, but not at a level that the neighbor was alerted enough to do anything but fall back asleep. Am I missing something? I apologize if I am!

I am not convinced when the neighbor heard the dogs barking that it had anything to do with Isa being abducted. By 6:30 am people can start milling around and a lot of people have to work on Saturdays.

So I feel it may have just been two workers in the area talking with each other.

If any of the neighbors work in one of the businesss behind Isa's home they could just walk to work.

But I am intrigued about the dog or dogs getting loose just one week before Isa went missing. If the dogs were prone to get out of the fence then I would think there would be an habitual record of that happening but this seems to be the only time.

So how did the dog get loose and what time did they realize they werent in the fence? Did someone let the dog or the larger dog out on purpose when they werent there or were asleep? Were they trying to elimate their risks? Or were they plannng on doing it that day and the dogs came out of the gate when they opened it? Or did they let the dogs out when they opened the gate late in the night so they could peer into the windows in order to find Isa's bedroom?

I dont know, but something about the dogs being able to get out of the yard just a week before nags me for some reason. It just makes me feel that whoever this is was already staking the home out.

So did they start putting the dogs inside at night to make sure they did not get out of the fence?

Just somethngs that nags at me for some reason.

imo

Im sort of thinking this too but...IF mom worked 7a-7p @ 6:30 I would have been gone. I live 13 miles from the hospital but usually I would leave well in advance. If the 6:30 timeframe was found to be the point of abduction I would say mom just left. I wonder too with a 11-14 yr old does mom go to work and dad do things on Saturdays leaving Isa with the boys to watch for a few hrs? Did they think that dad would be gone? You know if he had preformances late on Fridays alot he could be a late sat. sleeper ...so many what ifs..

did you follow the Samantha case? the girl missing from Alaska - they have video as well and didn't release it. As much as we all would like to see it, we have to have faith that they are holding it for some reason.

No, I did not follow that case. I just was thinking that it might lead to some new tips for people peripheral to the case. But you are right, I am not LE and I am sure they know more how to handle things than I do, lol! Thanks for responding.

I just want to point out here that the only time, that I am aware of, that it was mentioned the mother went to work at 7:30 AM came out during the Nancy Grace show, when she interviewed "Sergeant Maria Hawke, the PIO of the Tucson PD."

GRACE: Sergeant Hawke, what time -- what time did the mom go to work that morning?

HAWKE: It`s my understanding that she left for work at approximately 7:30 in the morning.

Oh, I would not call police. I would call animal control.
TAC has a noise ordinance for animals, too. The neighbors seem to know the Celis' dogs and their barking, so I am betting TAC has had calls.

Would the phones at Animal Control be manned at 6:30am? If I thought my dog (I don't HAVE one, but IF I did) was concerned about something, I would not wait 90 minutes to call, assuming they open at 8am Saturday. If it was a crime in progress, it would be all over with by then.

WE DID IT! Convicted pedophile Donald Scott Brunstetter (details in the CAPER - Citizens Against Pedophile's Early Release Forum http://www.websleuths.com/forums/for...ht-on-Children) will remain behind bars for the duration of his sentence. Thanks to WS members, and Tricia's True Crime Radio listeners, at least 100 letters were received by the Parole Board prior to his July 30th, 2015 Parole Hearing, opposing his release, and they listened.Visit http://noparole4pedophile.weebly.com/ for background on the case.

My posts are strictly MY opinion under circumstances when many points of view need to be considered. I apologize in advance to anyone whose potential involvement is contemplated in error, or who may be offended because I do not see eye to eye with them on all matters related to this case. I hope our differences can be set aside as we unite in the search for this victim or the perpetrator of this crime. Your opinions and insights are just as valuable as mine.

To me it does not matter what TAC was able to charge the family with, but that the charge was pending, and they had to go to court over it. I just think that would make most dog owners be a bit more aware of being on good behavior at least for a few days.

I don't have any problems with the family not wanting to return to the home or perhaps asking for extra protection should they return. They have two other children and they would naturally be concerned about the remaining children.
